Inspired by John Gardener's Grendel (which I will finish soon) I picked up this graphic novel version of Beowulf. Since I, pathetically, have never read the original story, I figured any adaptations will suffice for now. I was wrong. Not only is the "Based on the Screenplay" graphic novel so far from the original story that I assume it would be unrecognizable to the trained eye, but the art, the dialogue, and the originality all suffer greatly. Does that sentence make sense? It sucked.
.5/5
